Bad Boys, Bad Boys, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when Mr. Shanahan comes for you, 2011-12 edition

A new Chief Justice of the NHL takes over the court, former disciplinarian Colin Campbell has passed the gavel (and video replay connection) to former NHL star Brendan Shanahan, who now will administer justice on behalf of the NHL.

Justice Shanahan, seemingly has a new approach to the administration of just punishment for offending NHL players, his pre season appearances a marked departure from the way that Mr. Campbell handled the situations that arose.

Shanahan, who also carries the more formal title of NHL Senior Vice President of Player Safety, has in the early going appeared with video to outline how the infraction under study has violated NHL rules and provided his interpretation of those offences, a system that has received rave reviews thus far from NHL followers.

We will follow his efforts through the season from this post, watching with interest how he works to keep NHL players on the straight and narrow road.

Offenders may now approach the bench, the court is now in session, Chief Justice Shanahan presiding:
